Hello there. My name is Sharon Ganze. I am the owner of Empress Depot. Nice to meet you!

I have been in customer service for over 30 years (I'm telling my age). My first job was when I was 16 working at Things Remembered and back then we were located at a small mall in the walkway area rather than in an actual store. It was a lot of fun but I also had a tough boss. Later on, after I gave my notice because I wanted to take a long summer and visit family in Illinois, my boss told me she had been tough on me because she wanted me to take her management spot since she had plans to leave in a few years.

Well, what can I say. It was something I should have taken her up on but at that age, a long summer off in another state with family seemed a whole lot better.

I will always remember her though. Her name was Buff and she taught me well. I'm so glad she was tough on me because I know she played a major part in where I am today.

I was doing customer service back when money was counted back properly to a customer (you just did not cut corners at that time when counting back change). It was also back in the days when a customer came first and was treated with the utmost respect. It was also mandatory to wear pantyhose at my job...a BIG no-no if I did not (see my inventory of hosiery and shapewear).

I am still like this today with customer service. My customers are very important to me. Each customer is unique and special and all orders are treated with care.

I frequent many avenues on a weekly basis in order to keep stock of my current product categories. I aim to make the shipping prices as comfortable as possible for you. Purchasing multiple listings is super easy at Empress Depot. Purchase one listing at the highest shipping amount specified and each additional listing after that ships free. My goal is to make it feasible and rewarding for you to shop for more than one item just as you would if you were in a brick and mortar store off of the internet.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

Thank you so much for visiting.

A customer is not dependent on Empress Depot and instead, Empress Depot is dependent on a customer. A customer is not an interruption in my work. A customer is the purpose of it. A customer is not an outsider in my business but instead is part of it. Empress Depot is not doing a customer the favor by serving. Instead, a customer is doing me a favor by giving Empress Depot an opportunity to do so.

It's been cold in North Carolina with one burst of snow (knock on wood) and a few days of ice storms. One was heavier causing the electric to go out for 30 hours. Uggh. Mom's disabled and she lives with me. She was not a happy camper without her TV. Funny thing is that I can already see the buds on the trees preparing for the leaves to start popping out sometime in March. The joy of mother nature's beauty is a marvelous/interesting thing.

Empress Depot Sharon is a wonderful member of this community. She regularly reads and contributes to the Community Help forums and is quick to provide warmth, knowledge, and support to any who may need it. Her communication skills are excellent, so she is always extremely easy to understand. Her knowledge of buying and selling online is vast and she is very generous with it.
Her Bonanza booth includes many fun, beautiful, and interesting items and I highly recommend her as both a seller and a buyer.

Sharon at EmpressDepot is a great customer in that she carefully explains what she wants. She is also friendly, patient and pays immediately. As a seller, she has some nice, fine hosiery and shapeware in her shop, as well as branded totes and bags, and other products. The EmpressDepot shop is a woman’s delight, and I recommend this seller.
